Well, I've made many such disasters as yours, such as removing a quiche from the oven, deciding it wasn't set, returning it to the oven, with a potholder underneath which caught fire, in front of guests--we like to provide entertainment with our meals-- but my most memorable wasn't actually a baking one. I had a bag of fresh cranberries and a salad spinner....and I used to (when washing lettuce) take the lid off to watch the lettuce spin around. Not recommended with cranberries! They flew out like shrapnel & landed EVERYWHERE in the kitchen/familyroom. Despite valiant attempts to collect them all, when packing to move six months later, we found...little dried up cranberries in the strangest places.
